YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“Once you actually start taxing based on assets, not necessarily on income, then you have a lot of people who are basically potentially asset rich but cash poor.”

Andy Burnham supports the idea of land tax, which could replace stamp duty tax, which could work “in theory” but could also increase costs for thousands of households, says Gerard Lyons.

Gerard Lyons was speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio Breakfast. Listen live every Monday to Thursday, 6am-10am.
